Three months ago I left this bit of unfinished business on this board: We're Number 8!
Have you wondered why the stock market has gone crazy, while the real economy slumps? Why the rich are getting so much richer, while the poor are getting so much poorer?
Oh, sure. There's plenty of fraud in this rigged economy, but how is it rigged?
This last question I can answer (from a bird's eye view).
Greenwald interview AOC in 2018 and she insisted that 2 people should hold the same position for 2 decades.
Assuming that Washington doesn't agree to an extension of these emergency benefits, this is the doom that we are facing.
Well, first and for most, it is their "job" to represent "the people". Right? That's why we choose to elect them, right?
They campaigned on pushing for a Healthcare for all type system. Is it not reasonable to hold them to their campaign promises? They told us if we elected them to office they would fight for us, right?

Why aren’t we actually revolting (yes, we’re deplorable useless eaters, a different matter altogether)? Our ruling Kleptocrats don’t care if we live or die, but most make noises as if they do. ‘Elect me! I’m not him!’ Or engage in Congressional Virtue-signaling Tweets, but don’t vote as they Tweet.
The Peasants are useful only to serve their needs, pay taxes from the Fruits of Our Labor to fund our own further immiseration and precarity!
Are we dead or just asleep? Do we keep on believing that Voting really matters?
‘If voting made a difference, it would be illegal!’
